well, a caper is a small edable flower that’s normaly comes salted or in a brine.
A pancake is a combination of flower, milk, egg, baking powder & sugar & served with a variety of different toppings.
HOWEVER, a CREPE is a very thin batter normaly no thicker than 1-2mm. It contains no raising agent, the ingredience are similar to a pancake batter (using more milk). It can be used in both sweet & savory forms

The caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is a perennial spiny bush that bears rounded, fleshy leaves and big white to pinkish-white flowers. A caper is also the pickled bud of this plant
The salted and pickled caper bud (also called caper and gabbar for Turkish Cypriots) is often used as a seasoning or garnish. Capers are a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, especially Cypriot. The mature fruit of the caper shrub is also prepared similarly, and marketed as caper berries.
The buds, when ready to pick, are a dark olive green and about the size of a kernel of corn. They are picked, then pickled in salt, or a salt and vinegar solution, or drained. Intense flavor is developed, as mustard oil (glucocapparin) is released from each caper bud. This enzymatic reaction also leads to the formation of rutin often seen as crystallized white spots on the surfaces of individual caper buds.
Capers are a distinctive ingredient in Italian cuisine, especially in Sicilian and southern Italian cooking. They are commonly used in salads, pasta salads, pizzas, meat dishes and pasta sauces. Examples of uses in Italian cuisine are chicken piccata and salsa puttanesca.
Capers are also known for being one of the ingredients of tartar sauce. They are also often served with cold smoked salmon or cured salmon dishes (especially lox and cream cheese). Capers are also sometimes substituted for olives to garnish a martini.
Capers are categorized and sold by their size, defined as follows, with the smallest sizes being the most desirable: Non-pareil (up to 7 mm), surfines (7-8 mm), capucines (8-9 mm), capotes (9-11 mm), fines (11-13 mm), and grusas (14+ mm).
If the caper bud is not picked, it flowers and produces a fruit called a caperberry. The fruit can be pickled and then served as a Greek mezze.

A pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads; some use a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Most pancakes are cooked one side on a griddle and flipped partway through to cook the other side
Depending on the region, pancakes may be served at any time, with a variety of toppings or fillings including jam, fruit, syrup or meat.
English pancakes have three key ingredients: plain flour, eggs, and milk. The batter is runny and forms a thin layer on the bottom of the frying pan when the pan is tilted. It may form some bubbles during cooking, which results in a pale pancake with dark spots where the bubbles were, but the pancake does not rise. They may be eaten as a sweet dessert with the traditional topping of lemon juice and sugar, drizzled with golden syrup, or wrapped around savory stuffings and eaten as a main course
Scottish (Ulster) pancakes, known as drop scones, pancakes or griddle cakes, are more like the American type and are served as such. Scottish pancakes are made from self-raising flour, eggs, sugar and milk.
American or Canadian pancakes (sometimes called hotcakes, griddlecakes, or flapjacks in the U.S.) are Scotch pancakes which contain a raising agent such as baking powder; proportions of eggs, flour, and milk or buttermilk create a thick batter. Sugar and spices such as cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg are added. This batter is ladled or poured onto a hot surface, and spreads to form a circle about ? or ? inch (1 cm) thick. The raising agent causes bubbles to rise to the uncooked side, when the pancake is flipped. These pancakes, very light in texture, are served at breakfast topped with syrup, butter, peanut butter, jelly, jam, fruit or honey.

I really think you mean Crepes and Pancakes.
They are both made from similar batter but for Crepes you do not use baking powder or any other rising agent. Crepe batter is spread very thin in the pan (many people use a special pan) so it forms a thin flexible layer instead of a thick cake.

You mean crepes not capers - capers are totally different than pancakes, they are little seeds.
A crepe is a very thin pancake that you put fillings into and roll-up. You can use sweet fillings or savoury fillings (sweet - berries, cream sauces, etc- savoury - eggs, chicken, etc).
A pancake is thicker, airier and you just eat flat. You don’t put fillings into a pancake, you eat it with stuff on top of it - usually maple syrup, others add whipped cream, berries, etc.
